Housing

• Click here to make an on-campus housing reservation!
• On-campus housing will be in Farwell Hall and includes a shared bathroom & shower room (with private stalls), linen packet (2 flat sheets, pillow case, towel, wash cloth), pillow and blanket.  You’ll need to bring any additional items you wish to have for your personal comfort, such as toiletries, hangers, reading lamp, alarm clock, etc.
• If you reserve a double room, you’ll have a chance to enter your roommate’s name on the housing form.  All room types (single or double) will have a chance to offer names of people you’d like to try to have a room near.  Farwell Hall is set up in cluster settings, meaning that a common living-room type area is surrounded by a perimeter of single and double rooms.  We’ll do our best to assign rooms in proximity to requested peers.
•  If you plan to secure housing within or near the Decorah community, we encourage you to make reservations early.

Weekend Highlights

• Reminiscing with peers from your years as as Luther band member
• Honoring past conductors of the Luther bands  
• Forging new connections to further strengthen the Luther band community 
• Enjoying free time in and around beautiful Decorah, Iowa
• Playing your instrument with other musicians in a large ensemble
• Premiering two brand-new band commissions honoring Fred Nyline, composed by Kathy Fenske `86 and Jack Stamp

As we prepare to gather together for the reunion, we invite you to support the Luther College music program and the talented students it serves. Learn more about the available funds and how to designate your gift in honor or in memory of someone who may have shaped your experience at Luther!
